QC holdup men shoot at bus floor

[Terpe]

Eleven passengers of a Makati City-bound bus on East Avenue in Quezon City lost their valuables to two gun-wielding men around midnight on Monday. According to the police, the robbers boarded the Taguig Metrolink Bus (UYA 664) around 11:30 p.m. at Commonwealth Market and declared the holdup as it went past the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas building.
One of the suspects fired his gun at the floor to scare the passengers. After forcing them to hand over cell phones and an undetermined amount of cash and other valuables, the same robber fired a second shot at the floor of the bus before escaping with his accomplice.
The bus driver later recovered the casing of a .45-caliber bullet inside the vehicle as the victims reported the incident to the Quezon City Police District’s Kamuning station.

Interesting and informative comment from a regular bus user:-


I take the bus Commonwealth to Ortigas, or Ortigas to Commonwealth, on that same time, 2 days a week. One thing I learned, as much as possible take the ordinary bus as robbers do not rob much the ordinary bus. If you take an aircon bus, and in either way, be sure to remove all your bills and important documents like IDs in your wallet. Put as much as P20 pampalubag loob sa mga holdaper.

Lastly, bring only the inexpensive cellphone outside of your home. Siguro magtatanda rin ang mga holdaper na to kung P20 lang makuha nila per passenger at mga walang kwentang cellphone.
